System impact of > 50 Gb/s/cm parallel fiber-optic bandwidth density

• Multi-GByte/s data rate per linear cm at low cost
• USC - Agilent PONI DARPA program can provide > 50 Gb/s per cm using
  • USC CMOS interface IC
  • 12-wide fiber ribbon, 2.5 Gb/s per fiber signaling, and MTP connector
  • BGA surface mount to PCB
